Engine Turns A Little But Wont Start

Is it my starter? Got a 2000 EK with a B18C. Last week it was having problems turning before it started. Now it wont start. Its barely turning now. It turns but its very weak. All my lights work though. What can I do or how can I diagnose?

Re: Engine Turns A Little But Wont Start

LOL.. It was my battery! Charged her up and it started right away. I just picked up the car too and I think the guy had it sitten for awhile. Its a pretty clean EK and it rained over the weekend so I had it parked. Dont want to drive it in the rain or snow in Wisconsin!! But thanks guys! Didnt think it would be that simple!
